+Automatic Speech Recognition
+
+This filter uses PocketSphinX for speech recognition. To enable
+compilation of this filter, you need to configure FFmpeg with
+@code{--enable-pocketsphinx}.
+
+It accepts the following options:
+
+@table @option
+@item rate
+Set sampling rate of input audio. Defaults is @code{16000}.
+This need to match speech models, otherwise one will get poor results.
+
+@item dict
+Set pronunciation dictionary.
+
+@item lm
+Set language model file.
+
+@item lmctl
+Set language model set.
+
+@item lmname
+Set which language model to use.
+
+@item logfn
+Set output for log messages.
